To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation, loss and strife to reach the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fate of two tribes hangs. Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating and unfathomable consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life - first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse - seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed...forever?

Le quatrième et dernier roman, Breaking Dawn, est le plus spectaculaire et le plus haletant de la série. Il est découpé entre trois grandes parties : la deuxième a la particularité d'avoir Jacob Black comme narrateur (on sent que l'auteur s'est fait plaisir en faisant ainsi parler un personnage dont on suppose qu'elle l'apprécie beaucoup), la première et la troisième étant relatées par Bella, comme les autres romans. L'histoire s'emballe et prend de l'ampleur. L'intensité et le suspense montent progressivement tout au long du roman, avant un dénouement plus touchant que je l'aurais cru. C'est parfois un peu brouillon, notamment à cause de la multitude de personnages qui font leur apparition dans la troisième partie, mais ce dernier roman est plutôt agréable à lire. C'est une conclusion épique, peut-être un peu bâclée, d'une saga globalement sympathique malgré quelques défauts.
Strangely addictive but ultimately very weak and hard to swallow
To my surprise, I nearly enjoyed this book. It is certainly better than the previous three, probably because Bella's whining and vapid pointlessness seems significantly decreased once she gets vamped. Also it has a vampire foetus in it, which automatically gets any book an extra star.
Renesmee is still a stupid name, though.
Very interesting ending to the Twilight series. The whole pregnancy bit and such is a bit disconcerting to me for the younger readers of this series (the 10,11 and 12 year olds that want to read it). I did like the standoff at the end and thought it was a positive end to everything. Most of the young readers will probably like it because it's a good example of friends sticking together.
By far the best in the series. Bella finally grows up, Jake is less annoying, and the vampire world gets much more interesting.

So hideously, offensively terrible. Even worse than the previous three! Which is saying quite a lot. It is as though all of the awfulness of the rest of the series culminated and multiplied exponentially in a grand and terrible nuclear holocaust of of Do Not Want.
Worst Book Ever? Quite possibly!
